Comments	Many dive shops book trips with the large resorts and like to advertise five dives per day. Ironically, all the dive operators will offer up to 5 dives per day. If you are not going to dive five times per day why pay for it!! I stayed at a great place, good location, nice AC rooms with hot showers, and the restaurant was more than sufficient for my culinary needs. The best part, It was less than ½ the cost of the expensive dive resort. Boats were similar; everyone goes to the same dive spots. For the six days I was there I saved over a thousand dollars using Capt’n Greggs operation. Maybe a few more amenities at the dive shop resort than ours but for me, not worth the substantial price difference. I only dived with Capt. Gregg, the operation was good, he did have one boat driver that was cranky and always asked for tips--that got annoying. for Diving, the Philippines was not in my top 5 places to dive. I just ended up being invited. I like big animals, Puerto Gallera had great visibility, lots of small and macro stuff but not interesting to me. They have whale sharks in Cebu/Donsol, but folks don't recommend going there as they feed the whale sharks, and it is nothing but a big tourist gig. Good: cheap to get there, once you are there it is cheap to stay, eat and dive. Good visibility, easy diving conditions. Most folks speak English. Cons: Many of the good diving sites hard to get to. Very few large animals
